More Magic-y amusement
The Gen-Con report is worth looking through if only to see the best Zombie tokens ever. More Planechase next week; Zendikar the next.
Also, this came from Salvation's rules column today:
"Q: I have a ginormous Chaos Orb that originally came out of an old copy of InQuest. It's much bigger than a regular Magic card, so my plan is to take it to my local "Anything Goes" game, Golden Wish for it, then watch everybody's face when I flop it onto the battlefield! But I was wondering, should the height of "one foot" be scaled up to match the increased size of the card? And if so, should I scale based on the increase in length or the increase in area?
A: The monster Orb's text could have been changed to scale up the height in proportion to the size of the card, but instead it was printed with the reference to "one foot" intact, so I'd just run with that. Dropping that thing on the table is going to be like a tactical nuke, in more ways than one. Not only is it a weapon of mass destruction, you're likely to upset everybody else when you use it. If your local group is OK with that, then go for it. I know my friends would banish me for pulling that stunt, but then I'd also have the oversized Guardian Beast to go along with it."
EDIT: Tee hee. Lifeline is dumb.
